Some time last week I borrowed five CD's from my local library. This is something I highly recommend doing. What is a library you ask? It is a glorious place where you, yes you, can take books, CD's and movies and not pay a dime for them. Not a measly dime! The catch: You have to eventually bring these things back; but by this time you have no use for them anyway and all they do is create clutter. So the library takes them off your hands, effectively cleaning your house for you! And you don't pay a dime. Not a measly dime! Too good to be true? No!
I admittedly only pick up CD's which I think I have nice cases and one of those was: Art of Fighting - Runaways.

Art of Fighting is an Australian band from Melbourne and they’ve been around for about 15 years. It’s made up of Ollie Browne on guitar, Peggy Frew on bass and drummer, Cameron Grant. Apparently Ollie and Peggy used to be an item but they broke up I think because Peggy just couldn’t handle being named ‘Peggy Browne-Frew’ if they ever got married. Ollie’s very into hyphenated names or something. But anyway, goodonem for sucking it up and staying together band wise.
'Runaways' is their most recent album and I would describe their sound as kind of like ‘Death Cab for Cutie’ but a bit rustier if you know what I mean. They’re a bit like some of the more mellow ‘Hush Sound’ stuff also. Well whatever they sound like, I like them. They’re very nice to listen to before bed time and that’s just what I’ve been doing the past few nights. Very pleasant indeed.
They’re probably a bit hard to find but worth a search. I give this album 8½ out of 10 wombat snouts and am off to listen to more.
